This is a head gum original.
A telemetry podcast about the RuPaul's Drag Race in El Mundo.

A key is a...

Cute.
It's giving.
Sayrena Chacha.
It is.
You know what?
It's like classic drag.
It is.
But for me, it's sort of underwows
compared to the other girls.
It is.
It is pretty simple compared to
what these other girls are giving.
You know what I mean?
I'm just like, oh, it's good.
But compared to the other girls.
And it's like, is that even fair to say?
Is that even fair?
She looks good.
The makeup is good.
It's the gown.
The hair, the detailing.
But I'm like, oh, it's not as good as your girls.
Light chirp for me.
Light chirp.
Okay.
I'm Hennie's giving Aquamarine neon snakes.
I, oh, are you not living?
You shaking your head.
It's cute.
It's cute.
I really like it.
I really like it because it's so different.
It's like pants.
She came in the pants.
It's not a dress, you know?
Mm.
Yeah.
I live.
Mm.
I'll give it a light chirp.
Ooh.
Ooh.
It's a little skater.
It's a little skater.
Skater?
She was a skater girl.
She said, see you later, girl.
Girl, what the hell?
It's a little skater.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
I don't see it.
Okay, let's talk.
Ms. Margaret T. Chock, God damn it.
Continuing to give.
Weave me to hell.
Bunny breasts, bunny ears.
I like her makeup.
Her makeup is so good.
I didn't like her makeup at first,
but now I like really appreciate it.
Oh, okay.
I don't.
I haven't talked about this in the podcast.
So, first of all, I did see Margaret E. Jop
in Little Tokyo the other day.
What?
Excuse you?
Is your map not too much?
Wait, what did you see?
What you saw in Little Tokyo?
I saw Margaret E. Jop in Little Tokyo.
I was hanging out.
I was walking around and then I saw her.
And she had some like really nice warm energy.
She didn't see me.
I was, it was like stuck in my throat,
but I wanted to be like, I saw you in fun.
But like, I didn't and I regret it.
And I regret it to this day.
I wish I said something.
Oh, damn.
Margaret E. Jop, because you know she talks about
like, oh, people know who I am, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
So Margaret E. Jop was a part of a drag show
called La Mastragas.
Yes, there's been some conspiracy about this.
Oh, what do you mean conspiracy?
Oh, I'm just there just like some of some of the people
in La Mastragas said challenge ideas
were stolen for drag race.
Yes, I mean, there's a lot more seasons of La Mastragas.
There's like, the sixth one is coming out
in a couple of weeks, I think.
But Margaret E. Jop was a contestant.
And a lot of girls, oh, and Galavado too,
was a contestant in La Mastragas.
She was with a partner.
So they were both like a package deal.
Okay.
Which I thought was really cool.
And they haven't done that on drag race.
Sugar and spice should have done that.
But, you know, you know, stars one, you man's all stars one.
No, I mean, like, you know, having a brand new contestant be too,
like you and I competing at drag race together.
Never.
Oh.
Actually, actually, we'd be really good together.
We would be really good together.
I do, I need your help.
And I need your help.
You think?
Yeah, to sort of like ground me.
I can't be winning every episode.
Ah!
I can't be Christian, but I don't know.
I could help.
I could write us something, but I don't want to,
but you and I would drag us down in the lip sink for sure.
But anyway, I started watching, because of drag race Mexico,
I started watching La Masturaga and girl.
It is such a good show.
It is so good.
Our, the episodes are like an hour and a half, two hours sometimes.
It's, there's no subtitles.
So like, you have to be, I'm sorry to say a Spanish speaker.
Yeah.
But, I mean, listen, you can like have them, you can mute it and just like,
revel in some of the most sickening looks I have ever seen in my life.
The amount of money that these girls pay for their looks,
I'm just like, this is so gacky.
Like, I have not seen looks this good in drag race even.
Yeah.
It's some of the most impressive drag I've ever seen.
Also like weird alt drag.
There's bio drag kings that compete.
One of my very favorite queens from La Masturaga is a queen
paper cut who is in the pixie pixie family.
Okay.
And she mentioned paper being like famous, but she's huge and she's so,
she's like a, she's like a bio drag king and she's stunning stunning drag
performer, amazing drag performer.
So if you're thirsty or hungry for more, I bet I'm not a drag.
There's not a lot of drag race franchises right now.
I am starving for more.
There's not much drag race, starving.
Can you believe they want us to cover Germany?
I said, no, ma'am.
Why not?
Ma'am, are you case coming?
It is?
Yes, go.
Oh, God.
Okay, we're going to talk about, we was marked at the jaw,
churper, a burp.
Churper.
I like it.
It's her everyday bits.
She doesn't well.
I'll churper.
Tell me you wouldn't wear this bitch.
Oh, yeah, absolutely boy.
I guess.
Okay, silence, oh, skarmant.
I feel like taking a break.
Ah, agresar, agresar me, break.
Lady Kero.
What do you think of this look?
Um, very Mexican.
I kind of live for it.
You know what?
Watching this reunion special, I, I know you're giving me a face girl.
Don't shut the fuck up for one hot second with your face.
And with your face on mute for just one second, put your face on mute.
Bitch, watch it.
Here, your damn face.
All the way.
Bitch, watch it.
Put yourself on the mute challenge and fucking stay there.
Okay.
Impossible.
I just failed.
Anyway.
I, I'm living for it.
This is a church for me.
Uh, I love Lady Kero.
Lady Kero has won me over.
I was not on board at the beginning, but now I'm fully teamed Lady Kero.
Yeah, I'm gonna burp it.
I think it's still the, it's a cat.
Problematic.
Oh my god.
I said cancel mono.
Jesus Christ.
That's not like Mexican drag.
Okay.
Oh my god.
It looks very costume store and you, and, and no, and nobody gonna convince me otherwise.
It looks very costume, wow.
That's like peer nature.
That's culture.
So culture is a costume for you?
Is that what you're saying?
The only culture she should be worried about is the bacteria growing between her legs.
Okay.
That's a culture she should worry about.
Okay.
That's, I'm not worried about her, anything about where she's from.
I'm worried about that.
So that's just have a sticky pussy.
Is that what you're saying?
And that's a quote.
That's a quote, everybody.
That is a monogapin quote.
Mexicans have a stinky pussy.
Mexican.
That's not cancel mono.
Never said it.
Never said it.
Never said it.
Mastraca.
I mean, Mastraca giving just a toe has fantasy every day of the week.
This is gorgeous.
It's stunning.
The, the, the, the, it's just beautiful.
It's Tiffany blue, the hair details chirp.
This is a chirp.
This is a chirp.
She reminds me of a crystal method.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's amazing.
She's amazing.
She's great.
Galava.
Ro.
What do you think?
You love her.
I don't love her.
She's just not as bad as you put, you make her out to be.
You make her out to be awful and she's not awful.
She's, I didn't say she was awful.
I said she could do one thing very well.
Which is dance.
Oh my God.
I, I don't love the, the detailing is nice on this look, but it's, it's almost nothing.
It's just a swimsuit.
Oh, I get, I get the vibe.
You know what I hate the, I don't like this wig.
Yeah.
That is very popular these days.
It's very popular.
Dare I say almost ex, I'm so exhausted.
The trend of blue hydrangea built.
Ew.
She went at all.
She was one of the very first queens to wear these like, crusted wigs.
Yeah, crusty wigs with the, with the little like diamonds on it and I'm like, okay,
we're done.
We're done with that.
We're done.
And we move on to something else.
I will.
Oh, fuck.
I see yourself in her.
I get it.
I really don't.
You're like, what?
I would wear that sex choker.
I probably would.
You would.
It's really tacky though.
You probably have one already.
I have one that says call me.
Call me.
You could fit all those words around your neck.
Yeah.
It's more of a necklace.
Um, it's the lightest chirp because it's not ugly and I chirped serenamorena.
Okay.
Okay.
I burp it.
Okay.
And Adina Vocche.
And Adina Vocche.
God.
She looks good.
She's so simple though.
She can tell you.
She's so simple.
But girl, that's her.
That's her thing.
That's her thing.
God.
Everything is simple drag.
Damn it.
She's got it.
She's got to be able to sing and perform.
Uh, to be fair, I'd probably burp it.
Oh.
It's, it's a jacket.
But it's a sickening jacket.
No.
Tickening.
No.
Burp.
Oh.
Let me try to burp it.
Come on, Christian.
Show girl.
Show girl.
Money.
Expensive.
Chirp.
All the way.
The face.
The face.
The face.
The face.
Just has a good face for drag.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's like the doctor helped with that.
The doctor says more because the face is made for drag.
I mean, yeah.
And the way she shapes her hairline, I'm like, that's commitment, babe.
That's truly, truly, truly, truly.
Would you date somebody with the hairline shaved?
No.
Oh, no.
Jean.
Careful now.
It just looks, it just looks, um, I want more, I prefer a little bit look more natural
and more hairy, I think.
Hairy on top.
Yeah.
I don't mind bald.
No bald people or bald people.
No, I never said that.
I never.
Oh, damn you all.
I'm getting sick.
Two for two.
Two for two hates Mexicans and bald people.
Ooh.
Damn.
Oh, he's going for the grand slam today.
When I say a picture of Mr. Clean, I vomit.
I am sick to my stomach.
Ah.
Um.
Wait.
Big highlights.
Everyone cries in this reunion.
Everyone cries in this reunion.
Everyone cries in this reunion.
But there's some, I mean, honestly, like, you feel the passion for these queens.
Like totally.
We get cries from Pixie at Hanes.
Like, um, who do we get cries from?
Regina, Christian.
Oh, yeah.
The family is called.
Look at Regina's family.
It was so pretty.
I thought.
I was like, pretty family.
I mean, you know, money, clearly, I'm money.
Let's be real now.
Let's be real.
They got it.
Also, Galavados friends, I was like, oh my God, I would love to be in this dog pile.
You pervert.
You are such a sick, disgusting little pervert.
Yeah.
And you just slut shame me.
That's all you do all day long.
Just slut shame me.
Just make me feel bad for my natural.
Slut wear, girl.
Slut wear.
What are you saying?
You saying, I can't, I can't, I can't get it if I want it.
Girl, you're wearing a nuva ring as a necklace right now.
What the hell are you talking about?
There were some really cute moments.
Lady Ghetto wins, of course.
Miss Virginia.
Miss Virginia.
Yay.
You could tell.
You could tell.
I was surprised.
I was like, this bitch is going to get congeniality.
And she certainly did.
I love her pretending.
I love her trying to keep it cool.
Like, okay.
She's like trying to, as big girl.
Come on.
I love the addition of saying the votes out loud.
That's new.
Did that in Spain, though?
I will say the edit.
Oh, I didn't, okay, I missed that.
I will say the edit on these two episodes.
I will say the bit, one of my bigger takeaways is like, oh,
they've really cut Matraca out of the edit.
They certainly did 100%.
They made no secret, it was no longer a maybe at all.
It was like, oh, it's just Christian winning.
But isn't that crazy, though, that Matraca felt like the favorite to win?
I know.
I don't think the producer, like they edited her to be like a favorite, too.
Yes.
And just these last two episodes, the last second, they were like, oh, you said maybe
two words.
Okay.
Never mind.
Moving on.
They really didn't even tease it.
No.
I thought that was, again, the editors of Drag Race Mako, they are, they don't want us
confused.
They don't want us thinking.
They're holding our hands through this told journey.
They really are.
They were like, hey, Christian, she won almost all of the challenges.
Like she's going to win the show, everybody.
But there will be no twists and turns, which is pretty shocking.
No biggie Jackson's, no Sasha Valores, none of that.
The only other thing, what other things?
Of course, everyone continues to talk about Galavados nut popping out.
God, yep.
I mean, and no one wants to read.
Nobody can read.
They really can't.
No.
So nice.
What's up with that?
And also, I mean, this season also felt like everybody was truly rooting for each other.
Yeah.
Like it didn't feel like any animosity.
Maybe Adhanis was the only one that seemed like super, super competitive.
But like, I don't know, it was just like everyone was there for each other, everyone
was like supportive of each other.
When they got eliminated, they were like, okay, it sucks, but I get it.
Yeah.
You know, they're all very emotional.
They're happy.
They still get to be in the top four.
They were very proud of that lip sync that kept them all there.
Yeah.
And I really liked the moment where Regina was like, oh, I almost gave up.
I almost gave up.
I know.
And I'm so proud of myself because she's been performing forever.
She has the most experience out of all of them.
Yeah.
And I think it was really cool that she's like, that was a really touching moment.
She was like, I was really proud of myself that I did it even though I wasn't sure.
Like I really did it.
I showed up for myself.
Yeah.
And that's like, I love that they was like, there's like a real pride to Drag Race Mexico
where she was like, I'm proud and I want to show Mexican drag.
And you know, the same can't be said of many countries.
No.
The thing that I'll say to you that was so great about Drag Race Mexico is that you
feel and this might be like one of the very first times that I actually felt it, but they
were fighting for more than themselves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It wasn't just like, come out real.
Yeah.
Give me the crown.
You know what I said?
It wasn't that.
It was like, I'm fighting for my family.
I'm fighting for, you know, my career.
I'm fighting for like my family.
My name is Trinity.
I can't see.
My family.
I got a lot of plastic parts up in me.
That's one of my favorite lyrics in the whole world.
My name is Trinity and can't you see?
I got a lot of plastic parts up in me.
It's fucking crazy.
I mean, she's a winner.
She's a winner.
She's a funny winner.
She's a winner.
Okay.
Okay.
Sorry.
I was cutting you off because you were talking about the beauty of the, truly was like this
is beautiful.
Yeah.
And I think a lot of countries have tried to pull this off, this sort of like, wow, we're
beautiful together as a country.
And I felt it more in Drag Race Maker.
I agree.
I agree.
And you could tell like, oh, they're so appreciative too of like, oh my gosh, this is what
a cool, I don't know, I just wish all of them absolute success, all of them.
Every single contestant, I really liked all of them.
Oh, even gala.
Even gala.
You want your success?
Yeah.
You are so cool.
I don't like her, but I don't wish her ill like you, you vindictive little bitch.
You are so full of shit.
I support my sisters, unlike you, okay?
Bitch, you more two-faced than a Batman villain.
You so full of it.
Shit.
I'll tear you.
I'm more two-faced than two-faced himself.
You give her a, you'd have her crying all the way to the bank, boo-hoo-hoo.
Bianca del Taco Trio.
What?
Taco Trio.
What?
Oh my god.
They're so happy to be here.
This top four is real.
I do agree.
The top four is really, really, really, really fun.
Yeah.
And you know, the thing is like, has your impression of the girls changed from episode
one to this finale?
Yes, actually.
Like, I thought Adina, remember when we thought Adina was just like, such a front runner?
Yes.
And obviously, she really is clearly not.
But you know, she's still treated with a lot of respect in the show.
She's treated as this like veteran who needs to, who just learned she needs to update her
fashion.
Mm-hmm.
And I enjoyed her attitude.
I like that her attitude was like, no one told me.
Absolutely.
No one told me.
Absolutely.
That is such a healthy perspective, too, of not taking it personally and being like,
okay, yeah, I gotta step it up.
Yeah.
It was cute.
I thought she was gonna become more of a front runner, but not in a bad way.
I just, yeah, she was just more than the good time that she was done dirty by, I mean,
there were like, I can name two specific challenges where she really was supposed to win and
just didn't.
Oh, yeah.
So I was like, okay, well, you know, the producers like what they like, I guess.
Very Katia or like detox and also two, very like that.
They ain't gonna win, but we're so happy they're here.
Yeah.
Um, this is what, and I mean, they already revealed that their, this final number is gonna
be to Talia.
I know.
I can report that.
Which is, which is like, I even, even I knew this song.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I also have Talia.
I mean, she wasn't there personally, but talking to the Queen's, I thought it was cool.
It was so cool.
I mean, listen, Talia is, I don't, I couldn't even describe to you who Talia is like the equivalent.
She's, she's the Madonna of Mexico, she's Madonna of Latin America, but like more relevant.
You know, she's like, she's been popular for decades for decades and looks like a baby
still.
And she does.
She's still making music and constantly reinventing herself and such an ally to the queer
community in Latin America, like, yeah, fully there, fully living, fully gagging.
One of my favorite things that she did when she was talking is that she says, you know what
I mean, don't, like she says, don't fuck it up in English, but she won't say fuck in
Spanish.
That was so funny.
She didn't say it in Spanish, but she just did fully in English.
She fully said it in English.
She's like, no, that, don't fuck it up.
I was like, what?
What?
What?
What?
Oh, that's funny that it's like, well, I respect my tongue and I respect the English tongue.
English is trash.
English trash.
This, so then they all get a seat on the sprite couch.
They, these sprite, these sprite cutaways were so funny.
The way Matraca, she was talking, they like stuff listening to Matraca and they focused
in on her twisting that cap girl.
And at one point too, like it almost like, it almost felt like naked gun.
It felt like a spoof because like she started like different sprite drinks.
We're making it to her mouth in like the same shot.
Like at first it was the bottle and then it was the cup.
It was just like, it looked so funny.
Sprite.
Sprite.
Sprite.
We're not homosexuals, but we support you.
We guess.
My guess.
But this, also this like hype, this mega cut montage of all the girls crying was funny.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
Just 10 minutes of different things to cry about.
They got a lot, they got a lot of tears.
They got a lot of tears.
Galavato still has not come out and is wondering if she's strong enough to tell her family.
That was so shocking to me because she's done this before, girl.
You want to tell me my girl?
She's done drag competition shows fully.
Yeah.
People know who she is.
Yeah.
She's still hasn't come out to her parents now.
Her parents now.
Matraca is talking about her family and her family of artists.
Yeah.
And then the first time she saw a drag show and that's really the bull.
Do you remember the first show you've ever seen?
I remember the first drag queen I met in LA.
Okay.
Her name was, oh god, something contata.
I'm sorry, what?
I think it was maybe called serenade contata or something like that.
Okay.
It's like a bearded queen.
And I remember being transfixed.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
I have to say though, I was still so early in my gay journey that I remember thinking,
well, I would never do that.
Why is that?
Isn't that embarrassing now?
Why would you, okay, explain me.
Why did you think that?
I had issues with my own queerness.
I wasn't, you know, I was like, I remember even in college being like, I'm gay but I'm
not drag queen gay.
Damn.
Yeah.
Which is really embarrassing.
But like, you know, you're dealing with so much shame as a queer person that you're
like trying to understand your identity and you're trying to get approval from majority
culture.
So you feel like it makes you more acceptable to be a lesser level of gay which is so embarrassing.
But that's the tea.
Do you ever remember like feeling that way about drag?
No.
How did you feel about drag?
The first time I saw a drag queen, I went to, I, well, first of all, I was a dancer.
So like, that's sort of the gateway into drag anyway.
And when I was in college, the very first people to take me under their wings were drag queens.
Because we went to a very, I went to a very, very, very queer college.
It's called SUNY Purchase.
At the time, it was like very alt, very sort of like art of huge artist community.
And I remember the first drag show I saw, we have a huge drag show called Fallball where
a lot of queens debut.
And you know, even drag race girls, like Thordie Thor did Fallball.
You know, that was their first time in drag.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, what's your name?
Oh my God.
Oh, oh, she doesn't know.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
she doesn't know the queen's name.
Raja O'Hara also Fallball Queen.
So it's a, it's a big drag queen culture over there.
And the very first drag queen that I saw was Shibumbum.
And I was standing on chairs because it was packed.
And I wanted to see what was going on.
And then she performed and then she left the stage and she was like walking in the crowd
and she sees me and she kicks me.
She high kicks me right into balls.
Wait, what?
She kicks me in the balls and I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
an accident.
Accident.
Accident.
She was like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Then afterwards came up.
After me, it was like, I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to kick you that.
I didn't mean to kick that high.
I wanted to do a bit and I kicked that as she, girl, she kicked high.
And then we got to talking.
Oh my God.
And then we became really good friends.
After she destroyed your nuts.
Yeah.
Hot.
Okay.
Friendships work, though.
Every time a homo gets needed in the crotch, she gets her wings.
Okay.
We're going to talk about the rest of this episode first.
I feel like taking a spright break.
Oh.
Okay.
Now that it's finally the last break, can you finally say, bring back my break in Spanish?
Please.
Okay.
Okay.
Chiques.
Mano, do you have something to say?
Mano.
Oh God, dammit.
See.
Please, present.
Present.
Me.
A.
This is it.
You're getting worse and worse every time.
Man.
Worse and worse.
So...
Crunchwrap Supreme.
Hashtag Castle Mano.
So, okay, we got this, we got this classic dance rehearsal, hot, beautiful men.
This is everywhere.
God, this kind of so.
What is it about this man that I find so attractive, Mano?
He's like a hot dad.
Yeah.
He's a hot dad.
Yeah, and he looks like he's a real person.
Like, I've seen this man.
I mean, truly, he's also...
He is also torturing the cotton.
The cotton in this sweatpants are being tortured by his hog, and it's really fun to watch.
Yeah, it's sexy dad.
It's sexy dad, yeah.
Let's...
Now we have finale.
Valentina, let's talk about who do we think looks better for the final time.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
One, two, three.
Valentina.
What?
You think Lolita looks better?
I kind of do.
It's like, Valentina looks.
Her face is beautiful, but I don't really love the garment.
Wow, okay.
She looks incredible.
But is she trying anything new?
No.
No, but is Lolita?
No.
Look, they're both stunning.
They're both stunning.
They're both stunning.
They're both great.
And their drag is different, you know?
Um, and Oscars there.
Oops.
Let's talk about this really cool music video of Akele and Borta.
It was really well done, and I love the way it was.
Who is standing out to you in this performance?
To me, weirdly enough, Regina was kind of like the star for me.
She knows how to pop on camera.
Yeah, but like, Christian was also giving, which I was like, oh, this is a, she's a pop star.
Yeah, they were really popping for me.
It was giving middle-aged Britney.
Yes.
Again, though, I would say Matraca has been cut out of the edit.
Like, they're not even staying on her for more than a millisecond.
I know.
Yeah, it feels very fucked.
Yeah, but I did like for a look a lot.
I did too.
The edit is too quick on all of it, frankly.
True, true, true, true.
But there was a lot.
They were shooting for a long time.
I mean, it's a lot.
I do love the way they cross-cut into the stage performance.
That's always cool.
Yes, yes, yes.
I will say, and I wanted better angles on the stage performance.
It felt very quick.
It felt like, oh, this isn't the point.
Which I'm like, it normally is.
And they do so much work showing the lips, right?
The drama of the lips.
This poor little honk has to lift the gigantic galavado.
Oh, I know, I know.
The person who poor Christian, she's also like, if you notice her lift was dirty.
It was kind of.
It was very baby Zahara been in.
Very that kind of lift.
Yep.
Very kitty girl.
I'm afraid of heights.
As she says.
Afraid of heights.
Girl, same.
I do the same thing.
I love the choreo.
They're all doing the choreo together.
Regina does have a tiny misstep in the choreo on stage.
Yes.
I think Christian was a little too early in a movement.
Yeah.
I mean, this is, again, we can't see the dance.
Regina and Christian.
So quick.
Yeah.
They're not showing us Matraca.
No, man.
I don't know what she did.
They're not showing us.
And I was like, this is really strange.
We know.
We know what it meant.
We know the fate.
We know the fate.
Yeah.
Would you say in terms of finale performances, it was quite impressive.
I mean, yeah, I was very impressed.
It's not like one of the big memorable ones.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of a memorable international finale.
Hmm.
Maybe one of the UK ones.
Maybe Philippines.
Philippines is pretty amazing.
Philippines.
But yeah.
Would you do a finale?
Number.
Yeah.
I just remember that final lip sync was hot.
Yeah, but I'm not talking about that.
Oh, my God.
I'm talking about finale number.
Oh, my God.
Oh, they are going in.
Who's there?
A lot of skiris going in on.
Turn out as a heat hand bitch.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
Not too much.
Not too much.
Okay.
Let's chirp and burp these finale.
Yeah.
I was weird.
There was incredible effort.
Actually, editors, the way you edit it together, I wasn't able to like sink my teeth into
it in a way that's memorable.
Hmm.
You know what I mean?
Like, even something as corny as I want to break up, bye bye.
They filmed that choreography in a way that I can remember it and digest it.
Yeah.
The fact edit on this made it impossible to digest.
There was too much.
Too many clips and clumps.
There we go.
But I think it's maybe because one of their favorites didn't do very well.
So they were like, ooh, cut out.
Oh, cut out of this.
Ooh, maybe not show Christian doing this.
Yeah.
You know.
Should we chirp and burp these girls final drag in order of their elimination a as we say
in Spanish.
We.
We, we, we, we.
Missed by Arta's best drag.
Why did you say that sarcastically?
I don't know why you detect it sarcastically.
I just said the word that loud.
She's giving bog which she's giving.
I just got married.
She's trying to give bridal gown realness into lagoon.
Um.
She's giving.
She's giving fairy princess.
You know that clip.
That lives in the pits of hell.
Ah.
But give it up by Arta.
You look like a man.
It's probably a burp.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is, this is a kind of drag we do which is like, you know, unfortunate.
Yeah.
Now she, Amelia, Noah, stunning.
This is so good.
Oh my God.
Unbelievable.
She is statue-esque.
I don't really know the reference point.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
Oh my God.
It is a gorgeous statue.
There's a mask with ten sets of eyes.
It's so good.
The head piece almost looks tie inspired.
That's what I'm thinking.
Yeah.
Feels very tight.
Yeah.
Um, it is absolutely shocking and stunning.
These hit pieces with horns.
And you know what?
She doesn't look too big.
It's cinch.
It's giving silhouette.
Yeah.
It is unbelievable.
It is a cacao.
Yeah.
This is one of the strongest looks.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.
She knows how to give...
Bixie.
Bixie.
Wow.
Giving.
Bleeding heart.
Mm-hmm.
Red tendrils.
There's a heart-back brace framing her.
Yes.
I mean, the pants, the cascading ripples.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
This is really impressive.
Unbelievable.
This is really, really impressive.
Um, I, she struggled with the wig a little bit.
It was feeling a little teeter tottery.
But I think overall it's a cute look.
I think it was heavy.
I think like the brace was heavy on her back.
Mm-hmm.
And she was like trying not to...
Yeah.
Yeah.
She was a little... her posture was a little hurt.
But, um...
Yeah.
It's a nice...
It's a nice look for pictures.
It's gorgeous.
Maybe not for like walking around.
It is a charm.
Yeah.
Um, next.
We have Serena Morena in a white gown.
The end.
The end.
That's all she wrote.
Um...
It's...
I'm pretty.
Yeah.
It's giving me very good more black.
You know...
It's Serena's look is very...
As we say, sencejo.
Very simple.
Um...
Right.
But cute next to drop dead gorgeous.
Right.
Gorgeous is gonna devour a cute.
Exactly.
So, perp.
Um...
I think I might...
Am I still gonna chirp it?
Oh my god, Mono.
Stop seeing yourself in this look.
It's just...
It's not ugly in any way, though.
It's not ugly.
It's not ugly in any way.
It's just too simple.
I wish the dress was a little longer.
Uh...
Makeup's nice.
Hair's nice.
She wore the same wig as the reunion.
Um...
Oops.
Uh...
I have to give it a light chirp.
Okay.
Work.
You?
I said burp immediately.
Oh, wow.
Because I don't have to think my responses.
Wow.
Maybe you should, baby.
No.
And I won't be able to.
Maybe you should think a little bit more.
Okay.
Okay.
Because what'd you get on your SATs again?
Ketchup.
It's a perfect joke.
Um...
I was going to say,
Drul or saliva,
but we all know it's ketchup.
It's ketchup.
You can't mess with perfection, sorry.
It's a perfect.
Is there another way to punch up that joke?
We'll talk.
No.
Uh...
Hennies.
Wow.
She said, I'm going to be comfortable today.
You know what?
I got to say, I live for this.
This is not an expected finale look.
And she showed up and it was fresh.
It was different.
I was living.
This is a chirp for me.
She looks good, good, good, good.
You're crazy.
Um...
Were you not living for this?
It looks good, but to me, this is such...
Uh...
So obviously...
Look at those fucking legs, stupid whore.
I see the legs.
I would wear this, but my drag is ugly.
It's...
This is not ugly.
You would wear uglier.
No, you would not have a common sense.
To have a matching outfit like this,
you would not have the common decency.
To have your hair that laid out perfectly.
No.
Because I am not that kind of girl.
You are...
Don't you dare compare yourself to that, Hennies.
No, no, no.
I've never...
It's still a burp.
This is a chirp.
This is a scootin' boot.
This is...
This is a club number.
It's a burp.
No.
You're wrong.
It's different.
It's cool.
I like it.
Everyone else is giving finale.
I don't care.
Who?
Margaret Ijah.
Giving peppermints.
Giving candy land.
I like this look.
I like the colors.
It is very Margaret Ijah.
Very Sailor Moonish Kawaii.
Yeah.
But it's got a little...
It's got a fun twist to it.
The crown.
Hand.
The peekaboo moment.
The makeup, of course.
10 out of 10.
Yeah.
Oh God, are you not living?
You're not living.
You're not living, are you?
I'm not living.
I'm alive, but I'm not living.
Wow.
It's...
Watch you wear those...
She wears those...
She wears those gloves with everything.
Watch you chirp this fucking look still.
Wait, can I see her shoe because the cameraman is not...
They're not holding on this look.
Um...
It's a pink shoe.
What do you...
What do you expect?
What do you want?
It's kind of every...
Does it all boil down to the shoe, bitch?
This is the first time you've mentioned shoes on this whole podcast.
It's kind of nasty.
It's kind of nasty.
It's kind of nasty.
This is the first time we bring up shoes.
Why does the head...
Why does the hands in the head have anything to do with the rest of the look?
It's drag.
The theme is drag.
Light chirp.
Oh, you're so frustrating.
I like the makeup.
You're so frustrating.
Did you chirp it?
I did because I liked it.
And you hated it and you still chirp it.
Like you always do.
Again, think, baby.
Think.
You can think sometimes.
Before you speak, sometimes it's good to think about what you're going to say.
You better think.
Um...
You better think.
Okay, wait.
Oh my god.
We got Mrs.
Lady Gettel.
Lady Gettel.
Giving.
Coffee.
Black gown.
This is a political statement.
It's very significant history.
Okay.
We got the bullet holes in the back.
I don't really know the specific reference.
But I know that it's a reference and I know that it's political and I live for it.
This is a chirp.
Her silhouette.
Are you kidding me?
She's looking snatched.
The lady knows how to shape her body.
Lady Gettel is just...
Oh, I love her.
I wish the slit was more open, but it's a chirp.
Can I want things?
Can I not want things?
What do you want?
The slit to be more.
It's all the way up to her name.
Hmm.
I think the bottom's a little heavy, but it's a chirp.
What the hell?
It's a little boxy.
You would never give this amount of critique to a white queen.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow.
This is...
Okay, things just got crazy.
Folks, things just got crazy.
Okay, you're going to sit up here and defame my name.
Okay.
I don't have to.
You've done it already.
You just said to me, none of the girls in...
I wouldn't send home any of these girls in this lineup.
The girl I wouldn't want to send home is backstage.
That's what you just said to me.
That's what you just said to me.
She's a mean girl.
You're a mean girl.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Let's talk about this top four.
Christian Peralta.
Okay.
We had Bridal.
Bridal Bridal Bridal Bridal.
That was a theme.
That was the theme.
What do you think of her Bridal moment?
It's real.
It's nice.
You know, I'm not a big fan of these kind of wigs.
Oh.
Yeah.
So Doc points for that.
But it's a chirp.
She looks good.
It's really cute.
It makes, huh?
It's really beautiful and cute.
Yeah, I like it.
It's polished.
And then...
But I'm not living.
It's not the best look.
It's not the best look, but it's undeniably expensive and good.
And her performance.
Let's talk about it.
Because when Regina comes out right after her and another Bridal moment, I was like,
Oh, my God.
It's kimono get all over again.
They have very...
Their wedding dresses are very different.
Yes.
Who wore better?
You know, I think...
Well, I'll say the performance was Christian's performance was better.
That's not what I asked.
But okay.
But that's what decides it for me.
Like her performance...
That wedding performance she gave walking out was better for me.
I see.
Oh, you mean the...
Okay.
Not the final lip sync.
You mean the performance and walking?
Yeah, that performance she gave on the runway as the bride.
I thought it was better than Regina's.
We all know what Regina likes to ham it up.
Yes, true.
Do you think they look better?
She likes the story.
Who do you think was better to Regina or...
Regina.
Really?
Tell me why.
I just like her dress better.
You like the detailing more?
Yeah.
It's like a dress that I haven't really seen the silhouette is really cool.
It is very 80s inspired, but I kind of love it.
It's slettier.
It's definitely slettier.
Yeah.
Okay, where?
But some brisers slettier.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong.
I would...
I would love it.
Okay, work.
I mean, these are both absolutely...
Wedding garments are absolute chirps.
It's so rude they made them come out right after each eye.
I know.
It's so fucked.
Make one of them come first and then the other one last, please.
Right.
Makaka giving Taurus.
Giving another beautiful Mexican textile and pattern.
God, it's so good.
And this unbelievable long wig and nose ring.
What do you think?
This is a chirp.
One of the best looks.
Come on now.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
It's amazing and unbelievable.
Her golden skin.
And it's finale in an unexpected way.
But once again, the edit said, we don't care.
I know.
Okay, moving on.
I'll go next.
Okay, what you got to say about your girl, gala.
She's giving man boobs out.
She's giving very electabuzz Pokemon realness.
I love these giant electric lightning bolt tits.
Mm-hmm.
I like this dress.
Valentina thought it was V for Valentina.
V for Valentina.
Which says so much about Valentina.
I really like this.
My only note is I wanted a detail that covered her man parts.
Her boy nips.
I know that's like part of her drag is very androgynous.
But I still think it would have looked better if there was a detail that mimicked the electricity.
On her boy tits.
What do you think?
Like what pasties?
I don't know if it's pasties or it's like a tool detail coming out of her chest.
I think it just for some reason it just didn't perfectly go together.
It's still a chirp for me.
Okay.
What do you think?
I liked it.
I hated the back.
The back was unfit.
When she turns around, it's like cardboard.
Breaks.
It's like the reverse side of this.
And that's not like, no, no, no, no, that's unacceptable.
I would have almost reversed them so that the right, the gray is on the inside on both sides.
I would like for both of them to have that reflective thing.
But I just don't know why, especially if you're turning around.
Don't turn around then if the back looks that way.
This is a kind of cool look for me.
It's like very sort of like chromatica evening wear is giving.
So yeah, I chirp it.
It's good.
Because it is a known fact that a lady in chromatica do carry a purse.
Well, not really.
Because she didn't bring one.
You hate her.
I don't hate her.
I just chirped her look.
I chirped her look.
It's good.
I've never seen you more irate.
Just say you hate her.
I don't hate her.
I don't hate her.
I just think you at least qualified to be in the top four.
As you're saying that, as also you're saying this, he's literally putting his fist through a wall.
He's saying I don't hate her.
But his fist is through a wall.
There's drywall.
That's right.
I'm that strong.
Why did they make all four of them lip sync?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Okay, if you had to pick the top two, who would you pick?
Based on this episode or the whole, does everything?
Well, if you were one of the judges, who would you fight for to be in the top two lip sync?
I would obviously say Matraca and Christian.
Hmm.
How about you?
You know, I think Matraca deserves the top two spot.
But I do think the story is Regina Volce versus Christian Brothers.
It really turned out to be that story in this episode.
Yeah.
Especially because they were both wearing gowns.
Like, honestly, the finale lip sync all four were lip syncing.
But I wasn't paying attention to Gala or Matraca.
They weren't showing that.
They weren't showing them at all.
The audience wanted you to focus on Christian and Regina.
And then if that's the case, then put them both in the top two.
And having said that, they did kind of give more...
They were the most fun in the lip sync.
Well, from what we saw.
From what we saw.
Really?
Yeah.
From what we saw.
I mean, I can't believe all four of them had the lip sync.
It almost felt like they were giving the assignment to not move too much.
Do you know what I mean?
Well, they're wearing really weird, big-ass gowns.
Yeah.
That it's not hard to...
Yeah.
It's hard.
And also, the ballad is a story ballad.
It's about this woman who finds out her man has been lying to her.
Yeah.
It's very powerful, very sort of dramatic.
But who sold it the best?
I would say just on face, Regina did amazing.
I did enjoy the stunts, Christian Pold.
I mean...
I know.
Yeah.
To me, I was like, oh, Regina's going to win this.
And then when Christian did all those stunts, I was like, oh, oh, oh, we have a winner here.
Another wig, cut up her own wig.
And I mean, a queen after Lolita's heart.
With cutting me into hair during a lip sync.
I eat inga.
Do you think she, on purpose, said, I'm not...
I'm going to...
I know Lolita as a bitch who's cut her own hair during a lip sync.
Yeah.
I know this is going to work.
Let me just do this real quick.
Yeah.
You know, regardless of the thing, it was very powerful and very...
To me, I was like, this...
Okay.
That's a winner, right there.
I've never really seen it done.
I've seen Trixie pull her hair.
Oh.
Question mark.
Very powerful.
Yeah.
It's like, okay.
But this felt like...
No.
Powerful.
And tell me why she cut her hair.
And she looked stunning.
That hair cut she gave herself was stunning.
I wonder of him in between the cut and the start.
They were like, let me just kind of tidy this up a little bit.
But regardless, I'm very impressed.
Because if that was the look, say, I'm bitch.
It was really fucking cool.
Christian wanted this.
Yes.
And let's be real.
Wanted this.
Deserved.
She deserved it.
And she wanted it more than the other girls.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Obviously, the family storyline is there, but she was really delivering.
And I mean, also, we and the producers fell in love with the story of,
I am a man with a family.
Yes.
And I am a man who wears high heels.
And I am a man whose daughter will be proud because I dress in drag.
And there will be people who say shit about me.
And I am a winner.
Yes.
That story was just too good.
And it's not just the story.
She had the talent to back it up as well.
I mean, the...
He.
Christian really, really impressed the hell out of me.
There was not...
She didn't soft shoe or she went full out every single week.
Because she wanted it very bad.
It's not like she got closer to the finale.
It was something like, oh, I really want this.
Yeah.
She really wanted it from jump.
You know?
She really wanted it.
And she was a full sister.
And she was a full sister.
She was a real sister to everybody.
She was.
Everybody was.
It felt like a real sister to everybody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I mean, she just had that mother thing which we said in the past.
It could have hurt her.
Yeah.
Her helped her.
And I know world of wonder is salivating, thinking about putting Matraca on an international
season.
And if they don't, girl, cancel everybody.
No, they will.
I guarantee she'll be on one.
They're putting Regina in an international season for sure as well.
Yeah.
The bitch can speak English fluently.
So they're like easy.
Wait, what did you say?
Just quoting Valentina saying Queen of the Universe.
Oh.
I did love how much fun Valentina was having saying that every time.
Oh, my gosh.
She really did.
And also in the reunion when they were like, quote unquote, reading each other and they
were not funny.
The way Valentina laughed.
I enjoyed the way Valentina very obviously enjoyed some finale looks and not others.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Like Lolita was being supportive to everybody, but there was some when some of the stinkers
came down of Valentina was like.
No.
No.
Cool.
Very cool.
I'm very excited to see a second season of Drag Race Mexico.
Me too.
Lolita and Valentina.
Lolita and Valentina.
They are both so good together and the show only works with the two of them to get third.
It's true.
So great.
Honestly, congratulations to Valentina and Lolita because listen, when they were saying who
the judges were, there was a lot of haters out there who were not happy with Valentina
or Lolita and they have proven to me at least that they were worthy of the gig, that
they deserved the gig and that they delivered the gig.
So congratulations to them both.
And it looked like they really crowned Christian that day.
I think so too.
It felt like they didn't do the multiple crown bullshit.
They looked like they really crowned her and they said girls, be cool.
Don't share this.
Be cool.
Yeah.
And they were.
I love the crown and scepter.
I love that it has the colors of the Mexican flag in it.
Mexican flag, I know.
It's cool.
Really nice.
Yeah.
Are we happy for Christian overall?
Absolutely.
She's like adorable and sweet and kind and a father and wants to do this to support her
family and prove that masculinity isn't one thing.
I mean, she's truly, like truly, we'll go down in her story as one of the purest, kindest
contestants ever on this show.
Yeah.
Truly, truly, truly.
Truly.
Okay.
What do you think of the legacy of Drag Race Mexico?
Is it up there in the pantheon of great international seasons or is it in the dumpster fire heat down
under?
It's good.
It's in, it's neither number five or six.
It's good.
It has room to grow.
It has room to get messier.
I think next season, I would like to see a messier cast.
I would like to see a more venomous cast.
I would like to see more comedy.
I think we could have improved some of our comedy in this season.
So I want more, but I think it was a pretty fucking good season, especially the way it
ended with such a bleeding heart.
What do you think?
Yeah.
Drag Race Mexico really surprised me.
And it bears repeating the first two episodes are garbage in a way that I was like, oh, no.
Damn.
Oh, no, this is a sinking ship.
It's sunk before it even got to leave the frickin harbor like, oh, no, I'm in trouble.
And you know, it was like that we were able to see them get their bearings as the show
was progressing.
Yeah.
The queens became a lot more comfortable like, and there were some truly.
Great shocks.
The fact that Pixie Pixie went home.
So early to me was such a gag.
The way out of Hany's like turned it on in the design challenge is another huge gag.
Like the way that I like started sympathizing with Regina Vochin, a way that I never expected
to.
The way that Levi's came in and pulled the stunt and made outfits for queens.
That's true.
I mean, listen, you asked for messy.
They gave you messy.
So, you know, if it keeps it up in the same exact way, 100% will be a success.
Also a lot is like the queens are so dang memorable.
There are some really great personalities in this season.
Matraca is one of my favorite drag queens of any season.
Yeah, she's amazing.
I mean, they're, again, they're just, they were obviously it was easy to crown Christian,
but also I'm guarantee someone was horny for the possibilities of casting her in all
these versus the world's franchises that are on the horizon.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I'm excited.
I'm excited to see the feature of the drag race Mexico franchise.
I cannot wait.
It's up there.
I would say I agree with you, Mono, probably like five or six.
I think Thailand has such a special place in my heart and Espanya too.
It was like one of my favorite collective favorite franchises that it's going to be tough
to beat them.
But I think Mexico has what it takes to be my favorite international season.
Whoa.
You're saying it does.
I think it does.
If next season brings it.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I have a sneaky feeling next season will be better.
I really do.
Me too.
Me too.
And if they pull from contestants from La Mastraca, girls, sounds like they already did.
So I would they not?
Yeah.
Oh my.
And also, Matraca and Lady Quero, among other quays that you saw on Drag Race Mexico, all
auditioned for La Mastraca didn't get on those shows.
So, you know, I'm glad that they were able to have like a moment, but I'm excited to see
like what kind of quays?
Because it opened me up to Mexican drag and just like how awesome Mexican drag is.
It's so, I was living.
I'm living.
I'm living for Mexican drag.
It's pretty amazing.
Yeah.
It's pretty amazing.
I am excited for next season.
What international franchise are y'all going to watch right now?
Obviously, we're going to be covering UK very soon.
But what's next?
Are you watching Brazil?
Are you watching Germany?
Yeah.
Did you ever get to finish watching Sweden, you know?
